Right after check-in we had a welcome drink and a few tapas on the house!
The pool on the 37th floor offers a great view of Asok and the surrounding skyscrapers
The pool is a real eye-catcher, especially in the evening. Sometimes it shines in green ...
... once in purple ...
... and once in blue!
The llama was of course also very cool 🙂

We really enjoyed our stay & can highly recommend the hotel!
The Continent
The 5-star hotel is located in the heart of Asok - one of the most modern districts in Bangkok The Continent!
Location and surroundings
It is centrally located on a main road, right next to the BTS station of the same name. Right next to it are modern malls such as the Terminal 21 or the newly opened in December 2023 EmSphere. Asok is a popular entertainment district, especially for tourists, with bars, clubs, restaurants, lots of shopping opportunities and a beautiful Park right in the middle of it all. The best place to party is in the area around Sukhumvit Soi 11 or in the club “Levels”. If you want to catch a more revealing glimpse of Bangkok's nightlife, you should Soi Cowboy or the Nana Plaza (women are also welcome here). As Asok is a very lively district, you will find many cabs or tuk-tuks right outside the hotel that will quickly take you to another place in Bangkok.
Hotel and room categories
The 39 floors include spacious rooms, a pool on the 37th floor with a view of the skyline and several bars and restaurants. We were particularly impressed by the welcome drink, as there was also a small selection of free tapas on offer. These were served in dry ice, i.e. with a smoky effect - a great surprise! The staff were also very courteous, but not too intrusive. When choosing a room, we recommend booking a Sky View Room This ensures that you end up on one of the upper floors and can enjoy a magnificent view over Asok. Our room also had a huge panoramic bathtub, which is an additional eye-catcher! The rooms on the 8th to 21st floors belong to the cheaper standard category, while the Sky View rooms are located on the 22nd to 32nd floors.
Tip:: For those who want more instagrammable should get one of the coveted Panorama Skyline Rooms book. These corner rooms offer a special highlight with their huge window front and a spectacular view of the Bangkok skyline!

More hotel highlights
Loyfa-Holina Natural Resort
The "Loyfa-Holina Natural Resort" is a quiet accommodation in the northwest of the island and offers different room categories (e.g. garden or pool villas, suites with sea view, beach cottages). We opted for a cottage on the beach and were really impressed. Although it is a little small, it is very cozy and every morning we were greeted with a beautiful sunrise! The hotel's own beach is unfortunately less beautiful and very rocky, but the popular Zen Beach is only a few minutes away. We recommend renting a scooter so that you are always mobile and flexible. You will also find numerous restaurants, street food and mini markets on nearby Hin Kong Road.
Phangan Bayshore Resort
The pretty "Phangan Bayshore Resort" is located directly on Haad Rin's Sunrise Beach. For party people, it has the advantage of being right on the Full Moon party mile. The resort is very close to nature and has a modern design, a large pool and cozy superior rooms with a terrace. We felt very comfortable here and also got to know and love the small village of Haad Rin. In the small streets you will find numerous shopping venues, restaurants and bars. The beach is very clean and spacious.
L'esprit de Naiyang Beach Resort
The pretty "L'esprit de Naiyang Beach Resort" is located in the north of Phuket, just a few minutes' drive from the airport. The resort is a little out of the way, which is why a scooter or rental car is highly recommended for the duration of your stay. It is also not directly on the beach, but you have the option of being taken to the beach on the hotel's own raft shuttle across the river - this was truly unique and something we have never experienced before! You can use this service all day long and simply contact the staff via WhatsApp. There are numerous beach restaurants on the beach with wonderful views of the sea. On the promenade you will find more restaurants, mini stores and inexpensive Thai massages.
la Cigale
la Cigale" is a hidden paradise in the middle of the jungle of Koh Tao. We found this place purely by chance and were more than thrilled! The host Andrew and his wife have lived on the island for many years and have built three villas of their own, whose style blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings and rock formations. Each villa is truly unique, with some rooms being completely outside, such as the bathroom. But who wouldn't want to shower in the open air? It is still very private and secluded. We spent 3 days in the villa "Baan Suan" & can highly recommend it.
Pai My Guest Resort
The Pai My Guest Resort is a secluded accommodation near the rice fields! The accommodation is a 20-minute walk from the center of Pai (Walking Street). On the one hand, it offers a quiet place to stay and at the same time you are close to the hustle and bustle of the small, lively town center of Pai. Even the way to the resort is impressive with walking paths through the wide, idyllic rice fields, where you can watch Thai rice farmers at work.
Koh Tao Cabana
The pretty "Koh Tao Cabana" hotel is located directly on Sairee Beach with its own stretch of beach. Here you can relax on the white sand or hire free snorkeling equipment and stand-up paddle boards. The nearest town is just a 10-minute walk away, where you will find many bars, restaurants and supermarkets. There are many individual rooms, including a sunset villa, a tree house cottage and several pool villas. All rooms are designed in a natural style with great attention to detail. This hotel is the perfect choice for a long-awaited annual vacation or honeymoon! Tip: cab boats are available directly on Sairee Beach during the day to take you to the surrounding beaches, such as Shark Bay or Koh Nang Yuan.
Suuko Wellness & Spa Resort
The "Suuko Wellness & Spa Resort" is a hidden jungle resort with a beautiful pool, spa area and spacious villas with whirlpool bathtubs! We extended our stay twice because we felt so comfortable at this place. The staff are super friendly and accommodating, and the porridge for breakfast was incredibly tasty! However, a scooter is a must as the hotel is a bit remote. However, there are many good restaurants and larger supermarkets in Chalong. The location is also great for day trips, e.g. to the Big Buddha, Wat Chalong or Phuket Town.
Mae Salong Flower Hills
Mae Salong Flower Hills (also known as DoiMok DokMai Resort) is a beautiful mountain resort in the north of Thailand! The highlight of this accommodation is the magnificent flower garden, which makes the place truly unique. The in-house café and the fresh green tea from the adjacent tea plantation also make your stay a special experience.
